Wants to configure shared disks for cluster
Hello, We are interested to configure Database Cluster environment in Windows 2008r2 with SQL server 2012. I have created 4 luns from EMC uni-sphere and now wants to configure same LUNs with two separate virtual machines. We are using VMware 6.0 to manage virtual machines environment. But when i configure these luns on one machine then luns are not showing on second machine. Please guide

I'll assume you're using multiple physical hosts with a vm on each ?
You'd create a single storage group with all 4 LUNs and both hosts.
On each vm, make sure all your networking is configured and all ip addresses assigned to the normal and cluster vNICs.
You'll normally use RDM's (physical mode) for an MSCS cluster. add them to the first VM and configure, including changing the scsi controller to allow bus sharing.
You can get detailed instructions from the vsphere guides.
